Loan Check Status

   
This page has been designed to give you information about the status of your current Stafford, Unsubsidized Stafford, and/or PLUS loan check(s). This page does not include information about Perkins or Emergency Loan Checks.


In order to receive a loan check, you must first complete the following steps:
  • Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (required every school year).
  • Within 4-6 weeks after submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you will receive an Award Notice. If you are awarded a student loan, you will receive processing instructions with the Award Notice.
  • Next, you must complete the Master Promissory Note and send it to the lender of your choice, unless you completed this step in a prior year.
  • Notify the Financial Aid Office of your lender of choice either within ISIS or by contacting your counselor.
  • Before you can receive your loan check, you must fulfill the requirements of enrolling at least half time and completion of the Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling (Required only the first time you borrow at the University of Arkansas. Not required for PLUS loans).
  • The lender will then send the funds directly to the University.
- Remember that changing enrollment to less than full-time may cause changes in your financial aid.

 

Once your funds have arrived, an e-mail will be sent to your uark account. To view your Account Detail, you will need to log into your ISIS account and follow the path below.
